Comprehensive side-by-side LLM comparison
o3 leads with 8.8% higher average benchmark score. Overall, o3 is the stronger choice for coding tasks.
OpenAI
OpenAI o3, released by OpenAI in April 2025, is a large reasoning model that applies extended chain-of-thought processing to deliver improved performance on complex math, science, and coding tasks. It features a 200K token context window and native image understanding, with demonstrated strong results on mathematics and software engineering benchmarks. o3 targets demanding analytical and engineering tasks where deliberate, multi-step reasoning produces significantly better outcomes than direct generation.
ByteDance
Seed1.5-VL, released by ByteDance Seed on May 15, 2025, is a vision-language foundation model composed of a 532M-parameter vision encoder and a Mixture-of-Experts language model with 20 billion active parameters. It was pretrained on over 3 trillion multimodal tokens and achieved state-of-the-art performance on 38 out of 60 public VLM benchmarks at release. Seed1.5-VL targets complex visual reasoning, OCR, video comprehension, 3D spatial understanding, and multimodal agentic tasks.
